Li Hua placed her hands on Lóng Wei's back. "It's alright. I know that person must have said wrong about the late mother. Prince Lóng Wei did right. If I had been there, I would have done the same," she said.
Lóng Wei pulled away and looked at her. "You aren't angry at me," he was puzzled.
"Why does His Highness want me to be angry at him?" Li Hua asked.
"I don't want to. I was merely asking," Lóng Wei replied and again hugged her. "Comfort me more," he urged her.
"How?" Li Hua seemed confused about it.
"You should find out," Lóng Wei said.
"His Highness is acting like a kid," Li Hua remarked.
"Am I?" He pulled away and peered into her eyes.
"Yes. Ahh, I almost forgot to tell a piece of good news to His Highness," Li Hua pronounced.
"What is it?"
"Brother Chang Shi has come earlier. He asked for Princess Ai Fen's hand in the marriage," Li Hua said with glistening eyes.
